2.4 Preparing the Installation
Determining the Installation Location
The media converter must always be installed indoors
on a wall or ceiling protected from weather and moisture. If
in doubt, use the normal functional conditions of a standard
socket without cover as a reference.
Note
Do not block or cover the holes in the front panel (air circulation).
Mounting Options
In addition to an
on-wall mounting
using the supplied on-wall socket, you can also
choose to install using a
standard in-wall socket
or a
cavity socket
(for wood
or plasterboard, for example). Included in the delivery is a cavity socket of very high quality
with soft rubber gaskets on the rear that need to be punctured by the two wires that feed
in. The tight seal provided here is far superior to that offered by standard cavity sockets
without this feature.
Preparing and Testing the Two-Wire Cable
If no two-wire connection exists, the first task is to lay a suitable two-wire cable. Generally,
existing cables are used with . When cables have more than two wires,
make sure (color coding) that the same cable pair is used for both units (see
figure).
Approximately 5 mm of insulation
must be stripped from both ends of the
two-wire cable.
Before installing the two units, test the cable connection to ensure that it is
functioning properly (if necessary, draw up a test chart). Due to their design, coaxial cables
and Ethernet cables (Cat7) are particularly suited for longer distances.
Existing standard
sockets are mostly used
Prepared coaxial cable
No multi-core cables
allowed (unless equipped
with wire-end sleeves)
